For today's topic on, What Grinds my Gears, it is Cubs fans. And no, not just bandwagon cubs fans. Because in the end pretty much every cubs fan, except a few, jumped on the bandwagon within the last year and a half. My next thing is that none of these new "cubs fans" can tell you jack squat about this cubs team that they claim there own. "Start naming any cubs players on this years team," this is my favorite question for any kids at my school who are now wearing all their cubs gear. Big surprise, 90% can name 2 maybe 3. But they love reminding me of the only baseball fact they know, "The Cardinals aren't in the playoffs, and the Cubs are."

2. What event sets the rising action in motion?
After a larger woman gets onto the elevator with Martin, and unlike anyone else on elevators, she looks right into his soul the entire time. Something else that was important was she nearly took up the entire elevator, leaving little to no room for Martin. 5. What details in lines 121-139 suggest a conflict between father and son? Martin was already nervous to even tell his dad, which isn't right. When he tells him, his dad gets angry right away, and starts going off on the poor little guy. Which in my Opinion is no way to deal with children. 6. In lines 145-160 the story takes an unexpected turn. How might this development affect Martin's conflict? He fractures his leg, so after he gets home, he won't have to ride the elevator for the next week or so. Hence he won't have to be in the elevator with the overweight woman anymore. 7. Judging only by line 175, the climax of the story, is Martin in danger? Explain your opinion. Yes, the way I heard her say "Hello Martin" was just very creepy. And what button is she pushing to stop? As far as I am concerned there aren't too many good stop buttons. 8. The author ends this story at the climax. What is your opinion of the plot's development and of leaving the conflict unresolved? Explain. I hate it when authors do this, it is down right silly! I won't be reading any of his stories any time soon. I thought everything was leading up to be a good jaw dropping finish, it certainly wasn't. How easy it is to just start saying a bunch of conflicts and end the story before you get to any of them, it is ridiculous! Honesty. While being honest is important no matter what you do, when you lead an entire country, you need to let the people who trusted you enough for you to lead them know what's what. Intelligence is another key asset in presidency. And this is a follow-up on honesty, you need to know what the people should and should not know. Intelligence isn't always just you knowing what needs to get done, but rather also listening to others, seeking different opinions on each matter. Then based on the variety of facts you receive, make the next move.
Leadership. I count bravery in leadership. Leadership also needs the intelligence. In this case, leadership is taking a country and keeping it great, or making it great again, not always meaning you are going to take over other countries, and your goal is to rule a continent, and it does not mean you won't either. Just doing the things that are necessary to keep things moving and healthy. My final trait would be loyalty. If you are not loyal to the country you are in charge of, if you don't care enough for it! Then it will and shall fall to something. |
